We Gather in the Sabbath School

We ga­ther in the Sab­bath school

Upon this bless­èd day

We meet to­ge­ther here in love

To read and sing and pray

And while to bless the Sav­ior’s name

Our tune­ful voic­es raise

We know the heav’n­ly courts ab­ove

Re-ec­ho with His praise.

We ga­ther in the Sab­bath school

To learn the ho­ly way

That leads from sor­row and from sin

Up to the gates of day.

We love to sing of Him who died

To save the world from sin

And op­ened wide the gold­en gates

That we may en­ter in;

And all He asks of us to do

His bless­ing to re­ceive

Is just to learn His ho­ly will

To trust Him and be­lieve.

And as we grow in strength of years

And la­bor for the right

We pray that all our work may meet

With fa­vor in His sight

And in the bless­èd book we read

The glo­ri­ous king­dom giv’n

Is like un­to a lit­tle child

Our rest­ing place in Heav’n.
